OLD BUSINESS:
Town Pump — Nothing new.
Holiday Inn Express — Public Works needs their storm water calculations. This is still under
review.
121 Financial Drive — Health & Human Services — 33,000 sq. ft. of office space and 150+
parking spaces. Jeff is looking at their structural plans. There are drainage questions — Susie
will contact them. Jim discussed Eagle Transit issues for drop off, pick up, and exiting. We
are waiting for information on where the flood plain is.
Hilton Garden Inn — The casino sign "Silver Creek" was discussed. The general consensus
during the PUD review was that there would be no casino signs on the building. They have
adjusted their parking layout and will have angled parking with one-way traffic flows. They
hope to eventually take the hangars out and put in more parking. In regard to the
pumphouse, they need to be careful of the snow load, the exhaust, air intake, and will come
back with an updated design. Turning radiuses are okay for fire and Eagle Transit. They will
add some sidewalk connections. There will be a loading area in the back by the restaurant.
They will need to lose 2'/z ft of the parapet on the building per the F.A.A.'s request. Tom will
need to discuss the clarification of the legal description with Charlie.
NEW BUSINESS:
None.
PLANNING OFFICE ITEMS:
Cottage Gardens — PUD — site layout has not changed. The road is only 20' wide. Curb,
gutter, sidewalks and boulevards need to be on both sides of the roads. F. Ray voiced
concern about the width of the road and the turning radius. They will need a flood study
before any construction begins on site and before any building permits are issued. The slope
needs to be 2%. Roger stated they will need a 60' right-of-way. They need a greater setback
along Three Mile Drive. Everyone needs to send solid comments to Tom by August 30t'`
OTHER REPORTS:
Hutton Ranch — They still need to deal with the water lines as they are full of silt and mud.
The water lines will need to be flowed. Internal sidewalks need to be reviewed.
The meeting was adjourned at 11:10 a.m.
